This sprayer produces a beautiful finish on wood. There will be overspray - I couldn't imagine using this in a living space, I spray in an enclosed garage. But there is far less overspray than the old high pressure gun I used.
I spray relatively thick polyurethane and have never had any trouble making it work. You can get a cheap viscosity checker (I have one which I used when the system was new), but I haven't found this critical - the system works just fine with most finishes right out of the can. I have never tried to spray latex paint or any auto lacquer, can't say how it would work there. Works really well with a 2 pound cut of shellac.
It's very nice to have a non-bleeder system like this one. Relatively few HVLP systems work this way - the bleeder system may be better for the pros, but for an amateur you want to be able to move about without spraying air all over the place including on your just-carefully-sprayed project. I wouldn't consider a bleeder gun.
The gun has a lot of aluminum parts, the high end guns are all stainless steel where they touch the wet stuff. The gun works well, in my opinion, but I suspect that a higher end gun might give you more options for tips, cleaning, etc. If the system had a higher end gun I'd give it 5 stars, I'm considering replacing my gun with a Fuji, but I've sprayed a lot of finish with this one.
I've had this system for 8 years, I use it once or twice a month, usually on furniture projects that are fairly large. I use 3-5 gallons of water based poly each year. Get a very fast drying water-based finish else you'll spend your entire life cleaning the gun.
If you take care of the gun and turbine filters, you will really like this system and it will last a long time. I highly recommend it.
Some bits of advice, for this or any other HVLP spray system:
Don't even think of putting anything in the spray gun can without filtering it. Really. I use a re-usable Binks Strain-it.
Clean the gun every day. Don't forget this even once. I can get two coats of good water based finish on in an evening, 3-4 if I have the entire day and the project isn't too hard to sand (between coats). I clean the gun after the last coat of the day, it's OK to leave the finish in the gun during the day.
Clean everything on the gun. Don't just spray a little solvent or water and call it good. Take the needle out, remove the check valve and disassemble it. Take off the cap, tip and front spring. Flush everything really well. I don't unscrew the inner tip housing every time, but I can't leave it all that long between cleanings.
I usually use water base finishes since I don't want me or my family to breathe all the great chemicals in other finishes, so I can clean it with water. This makes it a lot easier to do a great cleaning job.
Clean the filters on the side of the turbine relatively frequently, not every day but every project. I have had no issues with the turbine, but if the intake filters clog it wouldn't be good. In my one-car closed garage I have to use hearing protection, but you may have a different opinion there.
Some advice on water based finishes for wood:
Right now I'm using Diamond Vogel Old Master Waterborne Polyurethane, seems to work well.
Fine Woodworking doesn't like Minwax or Varathane, the easily purchased ones from HD or Lowes. Hydrocote Resisthane is reasonably priced but it doesn't like some stains, base coats or colors. Cabot is prone to fish-eye, in my experience. General Finishes HP is liked by Fine Woodworking but at twice the price of everything else it costs more than the wood.

Never having used any spray equipment except spray cans I was apprehensive about spending the money. Did my homework and researched all the articles and decided this price matched my needs. Wanted a three stage unit for lacquer. First time I used it the results were perfect. Cleaning it is easier than cleaning a paint brush just takes a minute longer. Didn't come with a viscosity tester so one has to read or buy one or use only materials specifically designated for spraying. I've sprayed Crystal-lac with no problems, Water based white enamel, shellac, primer without thinning. Handy but overspray (if your careless) once on the compressor is hard to get off the plastic case. It comes off but the dimpled finish mkes it more difficult.
The gun is all metal handles well. The siphoning action is solid and not prone to spitting globs. Overspray is not as minimal as they might have us believe. Eye protection and a good mask is mandatory. Cover your arms and other exposed flesh if you don't want stiff hairs!

I have been very happy with my Soft Spray 2600. I use it in a small custome furniture shop and it works as advertized. However when I went to the Wagner Web Site to order repair parts my experience was unacceptable. I ordered two packings which each about the size of a half cigarette filter and weigh less. The Wagner Store On line charged me $9.95 for shipping. After one month they have finally arrived destroyed because the were not properly packed. When I contacted Wagner they said they are not responsible because the "Wagner On Line Store " which is reached via there web site, uses their name and logo, and is identical in appearence to the Wagner web site is a different company. Enough said, if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck it is a duck to the consumer. Beware of Wagner support.

before I used this item , my spray finish is very poor , but
this one is a very nice , and easy use ... I think I will use
it in the future.

I've had the unit for about a month. Several cabinet spray jobs were very nice.
Can't speak, as of yet, to the longevity of the unit, however it does appear and feel to be substantial in quality for the range of price.
Found a source for additional air cap kits, cups, misc parts well below those "aerospace toilet seat" prices ;)
The unit shipped without the wire cup holder, Wagner support suggested I go back to Amazon to "get it right"..... which Amazon did very nicely.
Manual, as mentioned, lacks "how-to/what-if" instructions, but most of the tools I buy have similar manuals... I just wish the Wagner website offered more.
I consider this sprayer a good addition to my stable of other solutions.
Only four stars for now... unit is still too new to rate endurance, the missing part...goes to Wagner's packing mishap, Amazon.... I'll give five stars on customer support.
